Cheng Z, Li W, Wang J, Huang X, Jia X, Zhou X. Combined application of Er:YAG laser and low-level laser in non-surgical treatment of periodontitis. J Periodontol 2024. [PMID: 39185693 DOI: 10.1002/jper.24-0128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the efficacy of combined treatment of Er:YAG laser (ERL) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with single laser applications, and scaling and root planing (SRP) for non-surgical periodontal treatment. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial, 25 non-smoking Stage II or Stage III periodontitis patients were recruited. The four intraoral quadrants were randomly assigned to four different treatments: (1) combined application with ERL plus SRP plus LLLT; (2) ERL plus SRP; (3) SRP plus LLLT; and (4) SRP. We assessed periodontal indexes, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding index (BI), and plaque index (PLI), along with three cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-10) from gingival crevicular fluid and red complex pathogens from subgingival dental plaque at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. RESULTS For initial moderate pockets (4 mm ≤ PD ≤ 6 mm), quadrants treated with ERL+SRP+LLLT, ERL+SRP, and SRP+LLLT exhibited greater PD improvement compared to the control (SRP) quadrants at the 3-month follow-up (1.25 ± 1.06, 1.23 ± 1.12, 1.00 ± 1.21 vs. 0.98 ± 1.21 mm) and the 6-month follow-up (1.35 ± 1.06, 1.23 ± 1.17, 1.35 ± 0.98 vs. 0.98 ± 1.23 mm) (p = 0.002). Quadrants treated with ERL+SRP+LLLT and SRP+LLLT showed more CAL gain means than the control quadrants at the 3-month follow-up (0.96 ± 1.42, 0.61 ± 1.39 vs. 0.55 ± 1.57 mm) and the 6-month follow-up (0.84 ± 1.54, 0.89 ± 1.49 vs. 0.48 ± 1.68 mm) (p = 0.008). For initial deep pockets (PD ≥ 7 mm), the ERL+SRP+LLLT quadrants had more PD improvement and CAL gain compared to the control quadrants at follow-up. There were no significant differences in BI, PLI, inflammatory cytokines, and periodontal pathogens among the four groups. CONCLUSION The combined application of ERL and LLLT demonstrated potential efficacy in reducing PD, particularly for deep pockets. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY To compare the therapy effect of combined use of Er:YAG laser (ERL) and low level laser therapy (LLLT) with single laser applications, and traditional periodontal treatment (SRP). A total of 25 non smoking patients with periodontitis were involved, and their mouths were divided into four sections, each receiving a different treatment: ERL+SRP+LLLT, ERL+SRP, SRP+LLLT, and SRP. Clinical indexes and laboratory indicators were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. After six months, for initial moderate pockets, combined laser group and single laser group showed better improvements than traditional group in reducing the depth of periodontal pockets and increasing attachment levels. But for initial deep pockets, only combined laser group showed better improvement than traditional group. There were no significant differences in bleeding, plaque, inflammation, or harmful bacterial levels among the groups. These findings suggest that the integration of Er:YAG laser and low level laser therapy into standard periodontal treatment may enhance the treatment's benefits in reducing pocket depth, especially for severe conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of periodontal disease treatment is to completely remove bacteria and promote wound healing. The erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser is commonly used to treat periodontal disease. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin+ (A-PRF+) secrets growth factors that accelerates soft- and hard-tissue regeneration and wound healing. Herein I present 2 cases of patients with oral diseases treated with a combination of Er:YAG laser and A-PRF+.
CASE SUMMARY Case 1 was a female with pocket depth bone loss over 8 mm and infection of tooth 31 and 41, and severe advanced periodontitis with grade III mobility. Case 2 was a male with tooth 22 root end apical swelling and infection and alveolar bony defects. Clinical outcomes were recorded at 6 and 36 mo. In case 1, the Er:YAG laser was used to perform open flap debridement (100 mJ/pulse, 15 Hz) and remove calculus and granulation tissue (50 mJ/pulse, 30 Hz). In case 2 the laser was used to create a semilunar full thickness flap incision (80 mJ/pulse, 20 Hz) and eliminate the pathogen (100 mJ/pulse, 15 Hz). In both patients, A-PRF+ mixed with bone was used to fill bone defects, and A-PRF+ autologous membranes were used to cover tension-free primary flaps. There was no recurrent infection at 36 mo, and tissue regeneration and would healing occurred.
CONCLUSION Debridement with an Er:YAG laser followed by treatment with A-PRF+ is effective for the treatment periodontal diseases with bone defects.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of diode and erbium lasers, as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP), on clinical and immunological parameters in non-surgical periodontal therapy. In this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial, 17 participants with at least one periodontally involved tooth in each quadrant received oral hygiene instruction and full-mouth SRP. At baseline, probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and full-mouth plaque index (FMPI) were measured, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) sampling was performed. Next, one random quadrant in each participant received 940 nm diode laser (1 W, continuous-wave), and another quadrant received 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG laser (1.5 W, 30 Hz) irradiation. The GCF levels of interleukin (IL)-10 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 were measured at baseline, and after 2 and 6 months using ELISA. The clinical parameters were also measured. Data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Significant clinical improvement was noted in all groups (P < 0.05). CAL in the control group was higher at 6 months than 2 months. The increase in IL-10 in erbium group was significantly greater than that in other groups (P < 0.001). The MMP-13 level was significantly lower in laser groups with greater reduction in erbium group (P < 0.001). Application of 940 nm diode and 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG lasers as an adjunct to SRP significantly decreased the GCF level of MMP-13, with no significant clinical advantage over SRP monotherapy. Application of 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG laser in addition to SRP increased the GCF level of IL-10.Trial registration numbers: IRCT20140318017053N11 and IRCT20140318017053N9.

Abstract
In vitro bacterial elimination using the erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser against periodontopathic bacteria was investigated. Bacterial suspensions of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis were spread on agar plates and the Er,Cr:YSGG laser was applied at 40 mJ pulse energy for durations of 30 s, 60 s, and 90 s. The agar plates were incubated, and growth inhibition zones were assessed. Optimal laser irradiation durations to achieve maximal bacterial elimination were evaluated using laser ablation on the bacterial colonies. The remaining viable bacteria were determined by the colony-forming unit (CFU) counting method. Growth inhibition zones were observed at all irradiation durations for both A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis. Mean logarithmic values of CFU/ml after bacterial colony irradiation for 0 s (control), 12 s × 1 lap, 24 s × 1 lap, 48 s × 1 lap, and 24 s × 2 laps were 8.82 ± 0.35, 7.31 ± 0.94, 6.32 ± 0.61, 3.17 ± 2.90, and 0.00, respectively, for A. actinomycetemcomitans and 9.83 ± 0.50, 9.42 ± 0.11, 6.90 ± 1.60, 2.33 ± 3.19, and 0.00 for P. gingivalis. Significant differences were found between the control group and the two irradiated groups 48 s × 1 lap and 24 s × 2 laps (p < 0.05), and also between irradiated groups 12 s × 1 lap and 24 s × 2 laps (p < 0.05). An Er,Cr:YSGG laser with power setting 1.5 W and 30 Hz frequency showed potential for bacterial elimination against A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis in vitro. Significant bacterial elimination (> 99.99%) was observed after 48 s of irradiation.

Abstract
Laser has been considered to show many favorable characteristics, including wound healing acceleration, hemostasis, biostimulation, and microbial inhibition. Previous studies have investigated the effect of laser treatment during the process of wound healing, with conflicting results. To date, there is still no unified conclusion on the effect and application principle of clinical laser therapy. This study evaluated the incision morphology, wound healing speed, and histological changes in mice oral mucosal wounds excised with diode laser, Er:YAG laser, and cold scalpel. The results showed that compared with the cold scalpel group, laser treatments caused more tissue thermal damage and carbonization, which led to a healing delay. However, lasers also showed some advantages, including hemostasis, regular incision, and immune response mobilization, suggesting that lasers may be beneficial in some specific cases, such as reducing intraoperative accidents and wound tissue laceration and controlling bleeding and postoperative infection. This study provides a theoretical basis for clarifying the effect of laser treatments and their clinical application principle.

Abstract
The literature on the efficacy of erbium lasers for nonsurgical periodontal therapy is inconsistent. The objective of the umbrella review was to collate the information available in the systematic reviews to provide a comprehensive synthesis of clinical and patient reported outcomes following the use of erbium lasers for non-surgical periodontal therapy. An electronic database search was carried out, and systematic reviews/meta-analyses which assessed the efficacy of erbium lasers as monotherapy or as an adjunct to scaling and root planing were included. The methodological quality and reporting quality of the included studies were assessed. 15 Systematic reviews/meta-analyses were obtained after title, abstract, and full text search. The meta-analyses data revealed a clinical attachment level gain, reduction in probing pocket depth at 1 and 3-month follow-up, and no additional benefit at ≥ 6-month follow-up in the erbium laser group. The evidence gap map revealed lack of clinical outcome data at > 6-month follow-up and dearth in studies assessing patient reported outcome measures and adverse events. Erbium lasers may provide short-term clinical benefits, and further studies with standardized laser parameters evaluating long-term follow-up, patient-reported outcome measures, and adverse events are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Limited studies are available comparing the outcomes of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) with or without adjunctive Er:YAG laser (ERL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study evaluated the effects of ERL adjunctive NSPT on single-rooted teeth of inadequately controlled T2DM patients with periodontitis. METHODS Twenty-two inadequately controlled T2DM participants with periodontitis were recruited. Adopting a double-blinded split-mouth design and under block randomization, we investigated the effects of ERL in calculus removal then degranulation mode, or a sham treatment, adjunct NSPT, which included two visits of full-mouth root surface debridement delivered within 4-10 days, to test or control single-rooted teeth (Wuxi Stomatology Hospital, trial 2017-016). We followed periodontal parameters (plaque %, bleeding on probing [BOP] %, probing pocket depth [PPD], probing attachment level [PAL]) and selected systemic parameters (fasting plasma glucose [FPG], glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c%], high sensitivity C-reactive protein) at baseline, one, three, and six months after periodontal treatment. RESULTS The study was completed as planned. Periodontal parameters, FPG and HbA1c% of the 22 participants appeared significantly improved at six months (p < 0.001). The 44 ERL treated, compared to 44 sham treated single-rooted teeth exhibited significant improvement in BOP, mean PPD, and mean PAL at various postoperative follow-up time points (effect size ≥0.44; p < 0.001). No adverse event was reported. CONCLUSION Periodontal treatment outcomes in the T2DM patients with inadequate glycemic control were better in the single-rooted teeth received ERL adjunct NSPT. Further studies are warranted to confirm the observations reported in this short-term clinical study.

Abstract
Severe periodontitis is challenging to treat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a combined Er:YAG laser (ERL) and Nd:YAG laser (NDL) in non-surgical treatment for severe periodontitis. One week after supragingival scaling, 32 systemically healthy patients with stage III or IV periodontitis were randomly divided into a control group (16 subjects) and a test group (16 subjects). The control group was treated by scaling and root planning (SRP) with ultrasonic equipment and manual instruments, and the test group was treated by SRP as well as ERL and NDL. Before treatment, the following clinical parameters were recorded at baseline: debris index (DI), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP %). Two months after therapy, the clinical parameters were recorded again, and the results between the groups were compared. All clinical parameters were significantly improved in both groups after therapy. For moderately deep periodontal pockets (4 mm ≤ PD ≤ 6 mm), the gains in CAL were greater in the test group (1.17 ± 1.47 mm) than in the control group (0.46 ± 2.78 mm), while no significant difference was found for PD reductions after therapy between the two groups. For deep periodontal pockets (PD > 6 mm), the differences in all of the clinical parameters were similar between the test group and the control group. In this short-term study, ERL and NDL radiation exhibited potential advantages in improving the clinical attachment level compared to conventional SRP in the non-surgical treatment of severe periodontitis.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the clinical and biochemical efficacy of laser therapy as an adjunct to non‐surgical treatment in chronic periodontitis. Methods A systematic search was performed through the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for eligible articles published as of May 2, 2020, supplemented by information search in the System for Information on Programme Literature in Europe and a manual literature search. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) used to compare the adjunctive use of laser and non‐surgical treatment alone with an observation period of at least 6 months were included. Results Sixteen RCTs with a total of 525 subjects were included. Meta‐analysis suggested that the additional use of laser to scaling and root planing (SRP) showed significant superiority over SRP alone among most of clinical parameters involved. Regarding the GCF, although volume in the laser group was lower at week 4 and 12, no significant difference was found regarding the cytokines level. Subgroup analysis revealed that the combined therapy produced no significant difference in PD, CAL and PI at most time points for studies in respect to smokers. No treatment‐related adverse events had been reported in the included studies. Conclusions Pooled analysis suggested that laser‐assisted non‐surgical treatment improved clinical outcome to SRP alone in the management of non‐smoking chronic periodontitis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To adapt the supranational European Federation for Periodontology (EFP) S3-Level Clinical Practice Guideline for treatment of periodontitis (stage I-III) to a UK healthcare environment, taking into account the views of a broad range of stakeholders, and patients. SOURCES This UK version is based on the supranational EFP guideline (Sanz et al., 2020) published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. The source guideline was developed using the S3-level methodology, which combined the assessment of formal evidence from 15 systematic reviews with a moderated consensus process of a representative group of stakeholders, and accounts for health equality, environmental factors and clinical effectiveness. It encompasses 62 clinical recommendations for the treatment of stage I-III periodontitis, based on a step-wise process mapped to the 2017 classification system. METHODOLOGY The UK version was developed from the source guideline using a formal process called the GRADE ADOLOPMENT framework. This framework allows for the adoption (unmodified acceptance), adaptation (acceptance with modifications) and the de novo development of clinical recommendations. Using this framework and following the S3-process, the underlying systematic reviews were updated and a representative guideline group of 75 delegates from 17 stakeholder organisations was assembled into three working groups. Following the formal S3-process, all clinical recommendations were formally assessed for their applicability to the UK and adoloped accordingly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Using the ADOLOPMENT protocol, a UK version of the EFP S3-level clinical practice guideline was developed. This guideline delivers evidence- and consensus-based clinical recommendations of direct relevance to the dental community in the UK. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The aim of S3-level guidelines is to combine the evaluation of formal evidence, grading and synthesis with the clinical expertise of a broad range of stakeholders to form clinical recommendations. Herein, the first major international S3-level guideline in dentistry, the EFP guideline, was implemented for direct clinical applicability in the UK healthcare system.

Bio-Inspired Systems in Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy to Reduce Contaminated Aerosol during COVID-19: A Comprehensive and Bibliometric Review. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9123914. [PMID: 33276626 PMCID: PMC7761598 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9123914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: On 30 January 2020, a public health emergency of international concern was declared as a result of the new COVID-19 disease, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This virus is transmitted by air and, therefore, clinical practices with the production of contaminant aerosols are highly at risk. The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of bio-inspired systems, as adjuvants to nonsurgical periodontal therapy, in order to formulate bio-inspired protocols aimed at restoring optimal condition, reducing bacteremia and aerosols generation. Methods: A comprehensive and bibliometric review of articles published in English. Research of clinical trials (RCTs) were included with participants with chronic or aggressive periodontal disease, that have compared benefits for nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). Results: Seventy-four articles have been included. For probing depth (PPD) there was a statically significant improvement in laser, probiotic, chlorhexidine groups, such as gain in clinical attachment level (CAL). Bleeding on probing (BOP) reduction was statistically significant only for probiotic and chlorhexidine groups. There were changes in microbiological and immunological parameters. Conclusions: The use of bio-inspired systems in nonsurgical periodontal treatment may be useful in reducing risk of bacteremia and aerosol generation, improving clinical, microbiological and immunological parameters, of fundamental importance in a context of global pandemic, where the reduction of bacterial load in aerosols becomes a pivotal point of clinical practice, but other clinical trials are necessary to achieve statistical validity.

[PMID: 32824321 PMCID: PMC7558016 DOI: 10.3390/dj8030093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: dental lasers have numerous applications for periodontal therapy which include surgical procedures of soft tissue and osseous structures, and non-surgical treatments such as pathogen reduction, removal of surface accretions, and photobiomodulation. The aim of this review was to evaluate the scientific literature to ascertain whether lasers have a beneficial role when used adjunctively in initial non-surgical periodontal therapy. (2) Methods: A PubMed search was performed specifically for randomized clinical trials where a dental laser was used adjunctively for initial periodontal therapy on human patients published from January 2010–April 2020. The first search identified 1294 eligible studies. After additional criteria and filters were applied, 20 manuscripts were included in this review. (3) Results: The chosen manuscripts reported on investigations into initial therapy for patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. After periodontal charting, conventional instrumentation such as hand and ultrasonic scaling was performed on all patients in the studies, and then a test group or groups of patients were treated adjunctively with a laser. That adjunctive laser group’s periodontal findings showed various degrees of improved health compared to the group treated with only conventional methods. (4) Conclusion: This systematic review found that 70% of the included studies reported significantly better outcomes in certain clinical parameters, but no improvement in others. The remaining 30% of the manuscripts reported no significant difference in any of the measurements. With consideration to correct parametry, lasers have an adjunctive role in initial non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Ineffectiveness of ozone therapy in nonsurgical periodontal treatment: a systematic review and metaanalysis of randomized clinical trials. Clin Oral Investig 2020; 24:1877-1888. [PMID: 32399735 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-020-03289-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2019] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review (SR) aimed at assessing the adjunctive clinical effect of ozone therapy (OT) on nonsurgical periodontal treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Articles published prior to September 2019 were electronically searched in four databases without any other date or language restrictions and manually searched in regular journals and in gray literature. This review was performed according to the PICO format. The eligibility criteria comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that analyzed the adjunctive effect of OT on nonsurgical periodontal treatment. RESULTS Twelve studies published between 2010 and 2019 were included in this SR. A metaanalysis of ten reports showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the periodontal parameters analyzed when scaling and root planing (SRP) plus sulcus irrigation with ozonated water or sulcus insertion of ozonated gas were used when compared to SRP alone. Additionally, there was no significant difference when the effect of SRP plus ozonated water was compared with SRP plus 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CLX). No studies reported significant microbiological differences when the use of ozone was compared with SRP alone. CONCLUSIONS The results of this SR do not support the use of OT for nonsurgical periodontal treatment. However, due to the potential heterogeneity across the studies, the presence of confounding factors, and the short follow-up of some included RCTs, these results should not be considered definitive. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The current evidence indicates that ozone has antimicrobial activity and good biocompatibility with periodontal cells and gingival fibroblasts. However, no evidence was found for a positive effect of OT as an adjunct to scaling and root planing.
